The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

"What? Professor Wang is going to publish another paper?"

Just after the Spring Festival, Su Zhenghuai delivered a document to the editorial office of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal, which immediately caused a stir among everyone.

When the editor-in-chief, Burghane, saw the headline, he was stunned.

This is because it is a paper about deriving and proving the proof of the Artin conjecture.

As the most crucial problem in the functor conjecture, the Artin conjecture has stumped many mathematicians.

John Milnor, a leading mathematician, has been studying this for several years.

He came to Harbin Institute of Technology a long time ago, and it's already 1988 now.

But he's too old to prove it.

Now that Wang Duoyu has deduced it, perhaps he won't have to work so hard anymore.

"Make several copies immediately, and then notify the Institute for Advanced Study."

After reviewing the document, Bulgehn immediately gave instructions to his subordinates.

As soon as the call was made, it caused quite a stir at the Harbin Institute of Advanced Studies.

It is now 1988, and the year after next will be 1990. It will be another International Congress of Mathematicians, which means that more people will receive the Fields Medal.

However, what everyone is more concerned about is whether Wang Duoyu, a mathematician who has won the Fields Medal twice, can win a third Fields Medal.

It seems like there's a great chance now.

Just as John Milnor, Shing-Tung Yau, Doniel Gray, and others rushed over to the Weizigou campus, Wang Duoyu was immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.

The Spring Festival of 1988 had passed, and with the arrival of the new year, he focused more on his work.

He only has a slight idea of ​​the final step in finding a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, the crucial core corollary.

If it can be deduced, then he can be freed.

Two weeks later, Wang Duoyu walked out of the study villa overjoyed. When he saw Wang Junkang crying loudly, he picked him up and kissed him.

The little guy was so frightened that he stopped crying.

Seeing his adorable appearance, Wang Duoyu laughed heartily, then hugged Wang Yifei and even picked up Liu Xiaoli and kissed her.

"Dad (Uncle), you're so shameful!"

When Wang Duoyu picked up Liu Xiaoli, spun her around, and even kissed her, Wang Junan, Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, and the other children burst into laughter.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Xiaoli was made shy by his sudden action.

"I'm not crazy, I'm just happy, haha," Wang Duoyu said cheerfully. "By the way, what's wrong with Lao San? Why is he crying again?"

The third is Wang Junkang, and the fourth is Wang Yifei.

As the children grew older, Wang Duoyu changed how he addressed them.

When happy, I call him Xiao Jun Kang gently; when unhappy, I call him by his full name; and when I dislike him, I call him Lao San.

"What else could it be? He tried to take his second brother's things, got beaten up by his second brother, and then asked me for help. I ignored him, and he cried even louder."

Haha!

That's what kids are like!
After laughing, Wang Duoyu squatted down to educate the third brother.

He even called over the second son, making the two brothers shake hands and make peace, forbidding them from causing any more trouble.

He then hugged Wang Yifei for a while, chatted with Liu Xiaoli and the others for nearly twenty minutes, and then returned to the study villa to continue his work.

Just now, he had completely completed the final capping work for the strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.

Once that's done, he can finally let it go.

From the current perspective, he can confirm one thing: the strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations has been completely solved mathematically, and the solution he proved satisfies the equations at every point in the flow field.

It also has continuous higher-order derivatives.

This means that the mathematical description of fluid motion is completely accurate, without any approximations or weakening conditions.

On the other hand, at the engineering application level, the reliability of the numerical simulation software Fluent that he previously designed can be used to optimize designs in fields such as aerospace and weather forecasting using this equation.

Even fully quantitative trading systems in the financial sector will be completely improved.

Then, funds based on this quantitative trading system will have an annualized return exceeding 50%, or even 100%.

Currently, many financial companies in the market are considered to be doing very well if they can maintain an annualized return of over 15%.

In earlier years, such as the early 1980s, the Federal Reserve directly raised interest rates to 16 percent.

In short, during those years, simply depositing money in the bank yielded much higher interest rates than investing haphazardly on your own.

Moreover, the deposits are very stable, guaranteeing income regardless of drought or flood.

However, since then, the dollar interest rate has never been that high again, remaining at only around six percent.

Last year, the US stock market crashed. A few financial institutions, such as Bridgewater Associates and Quantum Fund, were able to maintain an annual interest rate of over 30%, but the annual interest rates of most financial institutions fell to only a few percent, or even negative.

Few people are spared from the stock market crash.

Therefore, if you could have such a powerful quantitative trading system that consistently generates an annual interest rate of at least 30%, that would be incredibly profitable.

Several more days passed, and Wang Duoyu finally finished his thesis.

After printing it, he sealed it away.

Papers on strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations will not be published, at least not in the short term.

Even when Wang Duoyu was alive, it might have been classified as a top-secret document and not made public.

This is completely different from research findings such as the proof of the functor conjecture.

"Hey boss, do you guys want to go out and have some fun?"

After finishing his thesis, Wang Duoyu walked out of the study villa and saw Wang Junhong and his children playing shuttlecock in the yard. He smiled and asked them a question.

"miss you!"

The kids obviously wanted to go out and play, so he told them to change their clothes and meet at the door later.

It's already March, the season when orioles sing and grass grows, but it's still a bit cold in the Northeast.

The temperature is still hovering around zero degrees Celsius, but it will drop below zero as soon as night falls.

At this time of year, when the seasons are changing, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large, so it's still important to keep warm.

Besides, the kids were all sweaty from playing shuttlecock, so they definitely need to wipe off the sweat and change into dry clothes before going out.

Anyway, we have a washing machine and a dryer at home, so washing clothes isn't that difficult.

The next day, Wang Duoyu went to the market early in the morning to buy loach.

I just don't know if there are loaches at all this time of year.

"Professor, I can handle buying the loaches."

Mu Xiaowu volunteered, but Wang Duoyu politely declined with a smile.
"I just wanted to go out for a walk, thank you for your help."

He certainly can't stay in the office all the time; he has to go out for a walk eventually.

He rarely goes to crowded places on weekdays.

The wet market is the place with the most vibrant and lively atmosphere.

When Wang Duoyu came here early in the morning, there were still quite a lot of people.

It seems that the older folks in Northeast China get up quite early.

"Hello, how much are these loaches?"

People like Wang Duoyu don't seem like the type to be found in a vegetable market.

So many older folks glanced at Wang Duoyu and his friends a few more times.

Wang Duoyu, who squatted down to inquire about the price of loach, didn't seem to care much about the stares from his surroundings.

Just after the stall owner answered his question, the woman next to him who was about to pay suddenly said:
"Oh dear, I don't have enough money. Can I pay in US dollars?"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner exclaimed, "US dollars? That won't do! He doesn't even know if those US dollars are real or fake!"

"What should I do? I only have US dollars here, not enough RMB."

The older woman looked worried, and when she caught sight of Wang Duoyu out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly asked, "Comrade, would you be willing to help me exchange some money?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu, who was standing nearby, stood up and happily accepted the US dollars.

The money is real; it doesn't look like counterfeit.

But because it was real money, Wang Duoyu became even more puzzled.

Who goes to the market with US dollars instead of RMB?

After all, in China, everyone uses RMB; it's practically unheard of for someone to carry US dollars around.

This lady actually brought US dollars with her when she went out.

"$100, yes, it's real. Okay, I'll exchange it for you."

After watching for a while, Wang Duoyu immediately said he could exchange money with the other party.

The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan has not only not decreased, but has actually increased slightly. Last year it was 3.7, and now it is 3.5.

The woman in front of him was willing to accept this exchange rate, so Wang Duoyu handed her 350 yuan.

"Thank you so much, comrade, you've really helped me a lot. I was in such a hurry to leave today that I didn't bring enough money, but luckily I have this hundred dollars."

The woman was extremely grateful. After paying, she took the fish from the stall owner and left.

After watching the other person leave, Wang Duoyu waved to Yuan Zuliang and whispered in his ear:
"Old Yuan, this lady seems suspicious. Have someone follow her."

Most people would definitely not pay attention to such a thing.

Even if very few people actually carry US dollars, there are still many foreigners around here because Harbin Institute of Technology is nearby.

So having US dollars doesn't seem like anything strange.

However, Wang Duoyu noticed that the older woman didn't seem like an intellectual at all; she was almost exactly like his eighth sister, Wang Meifeng, a rural woman.

Simply put, that's illiteracy.

The literacy classes in the 1950s and 60s were indeed very successful, helping many people become literate.

However, as time goes by, if you don't come into contact with these words very often, you'll soon forget them.

Illiteracy still exists, and it is widespread.

This seems to be a difficult problem to solve.

That woman was illiterate.

There was nothing unusual about it at first, but when she casually pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and judging from her tone, it was very strange that she could produce such a bill so easily.

"Okay, Professor."

Yuan Zuliang responded and then waved to Mu Xiaowu, who was not far away. Then someone followed behind the older woman.

Wang Duoyu stopped paying attention to the matter and, after buying the loaches, headed straight for the Songhua River.

In March, the Songhua River is only just beginning to thaw, making fishing here a challenging task.

The higher the difficulty, the more Wang Duoyu wanted to take on the challenge.

How can you know if something is truly difficult or just a facade until you experience it yourself?
Wang Duoyu dared to take on the challenge of world-class mathematical problems such as the existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equations, and after seven years, he finally solved them.

He only began to prove and derive this problem in 1981, and seven years have indeed passed since then.

How many seven-year periods does one have in a lifetime?
Wang Duoyu was very happy and felt a great sense of accomplishment for being able to solve such a world-class problem within seven years.

That's why he rewarded himself with a few days of rest.

It's a pity that it's not a good time to go hunting, otherwise he would probably go hunting sometime.

Before the protection law is introduced, let's go hunting now, otherwise we won't be able to hunt anymore after the end of the year.

Wang Duoyu spent most of the day fishing in the Songhua River, but he didn't catch many fish, and none of them were big.

But this did not affect his mood at all.

After returning home, I had a delicious meal. After lunch, I teased Wang Yifei for a while, and then took Wang Jun'an and the other kids to fish on the Songhua River.

Before they knew it, it was past four o'clock the next afternoon. Wang Duoyu was still fishing on the Songhua River when Mu Xiaowu and the others returned.

"Professor, you have an amazing eye! That woman is definitely suspicious; her husband is a spy."

Mu Xiaowu and his men were full of admiration. In the short time it took to buy loach at the market, they actually managed to catch a spy. That was truly amazing.

Many spies are very well hidden.

Let alone criminal investigation experts or top detectives, even if Sun Wukong came, he might not be able to figure out who the real spy is.

Not to mention ordinary people.

"That woman's man has been hidden for at least ten years."

Before his arrest, no one would have suspected that he was a spy, because he was so well disguised.

It wasn't until hundreds of thousands of US dollars and over 100,000 RMB in cash were found in his home that the authorities discovered the enormous amount of unexplained wealth, the source of which could not be proven at all.

Furthermore, based on their salary, which is only a little over a hundred yuan per month, they simply cannot save that much money.

Most importantly, this person's position is not high, so even if he wanted to accept bribes, it would be difficult for him to do so.

After all, it's not a critical position.

Since you can't explain the source of this money, just confess and you'll be treated leniently.

The matter is that simple. Yuan Zuliang and Mou Xiaowu were quite surprised. Why was Wang Duoyu able to tell at a glance that the older woman had a problem?
Wang Duoyu simply smiled and offered no explanation.

It was just a coincidence, why ask so many questions?

Don't think of those spies as stupid, nor think of them as smart.

Life is full of unexpected events. To the average person, exchanging US dollars for RMB at the market might seem a bit strange, but they wouldn't think much of it.

However, if someone is observant, they will naturally take it to heart and investigate carefully, and the clues will come to light.

"Dad, it looks like a fish has taken the bait."

Just then, Wang Jun'an suddenly shouted, and Wang Duoyu also felt a pull on the fishing rod.

In an instant, he hurriedly pulled on the hook, but in no time, the fish was off the hook.

That must be a big fish.

It's rare to see such a big fish so quickly break free of the hook.

Wang Duoyu immediately switched to a larger hook, ready to catch the big fish.

"Oh, it's come off the hook! Dad, why didn't you pull it up?"

The little guy looked at the empty hook and said dejectedly.

Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, Wang Junkang, and the other children were also a little disappointed.

Fishing here is already a bit boring, and since they can't play on the river, they can only watch idly from the bank.

Finally, a fish took the bait, but then it got away.

"That was a big fish. I was using a small hook, so it's normal that I couldn't pull it up," Wang Duoyu explained with a smile.

Then, having already baited the large hook in his hand, he cast it directly into the river.

After a while, Wang Duoyu noticed that some fish had taken the bait, but this time he wasn't in a hurry.

However, Wang Jun'an and his friends, being little kids, immediately got nervous after they noticed a fish biting the hook. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were fishing.

Almost the instant Wang Duoyu pulled hard, the fishing rod immediately bent into an arc shape.

Seeing this, Wang Duoyu could only let out a line and let the fish run away first.

To pull this kind of big fish ashore, you have to exhaust its energy.

Wang Duoyu already had experience in dealing with such a big fish, so he wasn't in a hurry.

As he struggled with the large fish underwater, the nearby fishermen noticed the scene and couldn't help but cast envious glances.

Most people who come to the Songhua River to fish, apart from a small number who do so purely out of interest, are still thinking about the 500-pound fish that went missing a couple of years ago.

The Songhua River is home to several species of fish, including the beluga sturgeon and the Chinese sturgeon, which can grow to weigh 500 jin or more.

Given the size of the Songhua River in the section near Harbin, it's only natural that large fish weighing over 500 jin (250 kg) could survive there.

Of course, in other places downstream, such as Fuyuan, it is also possible to catch such large fish weighing several hundred kilograms.

"Dad, come on!"

More than ten minutes passed, and Wang Duoyu still hadn't pulled the fish up. Wang Jun'an and the other children were all a little dejected.

However, they did not give up, but cheered Wang Duoyu on from the sidelines.

Yuan Zuliang and the others wanted to come and help, but Wang Duoyu refused.

Having finally caught a big fish, how could Wang Duoyu possibly let someone else do it for him?
The most satisfying part is pulling the fish up himself.

Besides, fishing is a sport, and the process of grappling with a big fish is itself a form of exercise.

Another half hour passed, and the large creature at the bottom of the water was still very strong, showing no sign of being pulled up. Wang Duoyu was also a little tired, but he could still hold on.

On the contrary, Li Rongrong and the other children all sat to the side, chins propped up in boredom, their eyes lifeless.

They were all tired of shouting, so naturally they stopped.

Time flies. Wang Duoyu had been playing with the big fish for over an hour, and he was already quite exhausted.

However, he was able to persevere because this was his first time catching such a big fish, and he had no problem with patience.

He has enough physical strength, so he won't let go or let Yuan Zuliang and the others take over the fishing rod.

We're up!
As the big fish suddenly surfaced, Li Rongrong and the others jumped up, their eyes shining brightly as they joyfully bounced around.

"Go, Uncle!"

Wow, what a big fish! Uncle is amazing!

"I'll help you, Dad, I'll help you."

The little ones were more enthusiastic than anyone else, and even Wang Junkang came over eagerly to help, but Yuan Zuliang and the others picked him up.

The little kids are too young to come and help.

After all, they're not helping, they're causing trouble.

In no time, the big fish had completely lost its strength, and no matter how much Wang Duoyu pulled, it didn't budge.

Mu Xiaowu and the others immediately came to the shore, grabbed the big fish, and prepared to push it ashore.

As a result, the big fish did a somersault, its big tail swaying, and instantly broke free from Mu Xiaowu and the others' restraints, diving into the water.

The temperature was very low at the moment, and Mu Xiaowu and the others were shivering as their clothes were soaked by the cold water.

Fortunately, Wang Duoyu did not let his guard down at this time, otherwise the big fish would have escaped completely if he hadn't been careful.

A large crowd of onlookers had gathered on the shore, and everyone who saw the big fish started discussing it.

"Wow, this fish is so big, is it some kind of spirit?"

"Is it the one from a couple of years ago? Or is it a different one?"

"Are there really fish this big in our Songhua River? No wonder the emperors of the past issued decrees ordering people to come here to catch fish. These fish must have been growing for hundreds of years!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think this is a tortoise? You're talking about hundreds of years? Why don't you just say thousands of years?"

"Absolutely! This kind of fish must have lived for at least forty or fifty years, if not hundreds. It's huge!"

"Just a short while ago, a fish tail flipped over and created such a huge wave that five big men's clothes were completely soaked. It's unbelievable!"

"I wonder if it weighs over a thousand pounds, it's huge!"

Wang Duoyu and his companions still don't know how heavy that big fish is.

However, even from that brief glance, it was clear that the fish was over two meters long, possibly even more than three meters.

Such a long cargo definitely weighs over 500 pounds, but the exact weight is still uncertain.

As the big fish flipped over and went back into the water, Wang Jun'an and the other kids let out a disappointed sigh, their faces filled with anxiety.

After a while, Wang Duoyu pulled the big fish back again.

"Thank goodness it didn't come off the hook!"

Wang Duoyu secretly rejoiced that he was well-prepared this time, which was why he hadn't been able to escape from the big fish.

Such a massive object, weighing several hundred kilograms, possesses immense strength, far exceeding imagination.

After bringing the big fish to the surface, Mu Xiaowu and his team became even more cautious this time.

Since Wang Duoyu said not to hurt the big fish, just drag it towards the shore as much as possible.

A large truck has arrived. We'll load the big fish onto the truck and then take it to the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology to raise.

It would be a shame to eat such a huge fish; keeping it as a pet is the best option.

The lifespan of sturgeon from Heilongjiang is usually over fifty years, and some can even live to be over one hundred years old.

It's important to know that male sturgeon typically take more than twelve years to reach sexual maturity, while female sturgeon require sixteen or seventeen years.

Therefore, it is normal for this type of fish to have a longer lifespan.

"Someone, can someone help me?"

Mu Xiaowu and his team had already driven the big fish to the diving area on the shore, and now it was no longer arrogant at all.

The water was less than twenty centimeters deep; even if this big fish had some ability, it couldn't escape the Five Finger Mountain.

The onlookers gasped and tried to gather around, but were dispersed by Mu Xiaowu and his group.

"I'll pay you two thousand yuan, sell it to me."

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

To think you can get such a huge fish for just two thousand yuan is a bit naive.

Two years ago, it was less than two thousand, but now that they're asking for two thousand, it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

However, it should be noted that last year, in order to fill several large lakes, including those belonging to Want Want Group and Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu purchased a considerable number of sturgeon fry from outside sources.

Sturgeon under ten years old are fry; they haven't grown up at all and can't lay eggs.

The sturgeon in front of him was quite resilient, so Wang Duoyu had no reason to sell it.

He wouldn't sell it for two thousand yuan, or even twenty thousand or two hundred thousand.

He doesn't lack the money; what he lacks is a big fish like this.

Raising fish and fishing are just his hobbies; he doesn't care about the money at all.

"I'll offer five thousand, sell it to me."

Then someone started shouting loudly, and immediately others continued to raise the price. In just a few minutes, the price had exceeded 10,000 yuan.

The onlookers gasped in surprise.

Ten thousand yuan! That's what a ten-thousand-yuan household is like.

Although the value of a "ten-thousand-yuan household" is not so high nowadays, many workers at companies like Want Want Group and Harbin Institute of Technology earn more than four hundred yuan a month.

If you include bonuses, year-end bonuses, etc., the annual income is at least 5,500 yuan or more, and there are quite a few people with an annual income of 6,000 yuan.

Therefore, the idea of ​​having ten thousand yuan is outdated in this era.

Prices have risen somewhat, but thankfully, the increase is not significant.

In Harbin, it's not uncommon to find people with 100,000 or 1 million yuan in assets. Some even say that executives at Want Want Group, like Wang Jianchao and Zheng Baoyin, may already have assets exceeding 100 million yuan.

However, regardless of the circumstances, buying a large fish for 10,000 yuan is still like winning the lottery for ordinary people, leaving these onlookers in awe.

Because if they don't work for companies like Want Want Group, the average Harbin resident's monthly salary is only a little over 100 yuan, less than 200 yuan.

In fact, a large portion of the population earns less than one hundred yuan a month.

Therefore, 10,000 yuan is indeed a huge sum of money for many people.

But while they were shouting, Mu Xiaowu and the others had already wrapped the big fish in a canvas and then lifted it onto the truck.

The truck was huge, measuring five meters long and over three meters wide, and even after the fish got on, it couldn't turn around.

This clearly shows that its length definitely exceeds three meters.

A behemoth over three meters long must weigh over 600 kilograms, right?
Whether or not we can weigh its actual weight, we will definitely be able to do so once we return to Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Uncle is amazing! He caught such a big fish! That's incredible!"

Lu Yuening and the other kids were shouting and yelling around the big fish. Even when the fish splashed some water on their faces, they only gasped and kept staring at it intently.

This was the first time Wang Duoyu had ever encountered such a massive creature.

To say I wasn't excited would be a lie.

"Everyone, please stop crowding here. I'm not selling this big fish. Let's disperse," Wang Duoyu said to the onlookers after he had packed up his fishing gear.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed disappointment.

Half an hour later, Wang Duoyu and his friends drove back to Harbin Institute of Technology.

After the behemoth returned to Harbin Institute of Technology, Liu Deben, Lü Gongliang, and Han Jue all rushed over upon hearing the news.

Interestingly, Shing-Tung Yau, John Milnor, and others were also there, as if they had just happened to be there.

"Wow, such a big fish? Professor Wang, did you catch it?"

After Qiu Chengtong clearly saw the large sturgeon on the truck, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Even in the deep sea, it is very difficult to catch a fish this big, let alone in the Songhua River.

"Professor Wang, is there an easier way to calculate the exact weight of this fish?"

Just then, Fang Guangchao suddenly asked a question, and everyone turned to look at Wang Duoyu.

John Milnor and the others all laughed. Isn't that simple?

It's just calculating the exact weight; it's not a difficult problem.

Now, obtaining other key data about this fish is no problem at all.

For such a small problem, John Milnor and Shing-Tung Yau did not use paper and pen. After learning the exact weight including water, they began to do the mental calculations.

632 jin!

This is the fish's precise weight.

Wang Duoyu didn't participate in the calculations because he was bored.

Joking aside, the most important thing right now is to put this fish back into the lake.

However, this guy is already injured and needs to be rested, disinfected, and allowed to heal before being put back into the lake.

Because the lake is still frozen, if the fish were to roll belly up due to injury or lack of oxygen, it wouldn't surface.

Therefore, the best approach is to allow it to heal for a period of time first.

There is a fish pond on the island villa, which is not very big, but it is enough for the fish to move around a bit.

However, after consideration, I decided to put it at Want Want Group's place, as it would be better to keep it indoors.

Furthermore, it would require oxygenators and other equipment, so it would be better to place it in the factory near the Want Want Group headquarters.

In that case, it's not convenient to keep it on the island in the middle of the lake.

After the truck drove away, Wang Duoyu turned to Qiu Chengtong and the others and asked, "Did you come here for something?"

"Professor Wang, have you forgotten the paper you submitted to the mathematics journal before?"

Wang Duoyu certainly remembered the paper that proved the Artin conjecture.

John Milnor looked at him with a resentful expression:
"Wang, you've gone too far! Since you've already proven this conjecture, why didn't you tell me about it during last month's math sharing session?"

"Also, I heard that you completed some kind of task a few days ago. Did you prove another problem in the functor conjecture? Was it the Ramanujan conjecture, the Sato-Tate conjecture, or some other problem?"

John Milnor has spent many years researching the top-level mathematical problem of the functor conjecture, but his combined achievements are still less than those of Wang Duoyu's proof of the Artin conjecture.

People are more mad than people.

Most importantly, John Milnor is already fifty-seven years old this year, and will soon be sixty.

His hair has turned quite white and thinned in recent years, almost turning into a bald patch, but he has grown a lot more beard.

As you get older, you have to accept that you're getting old.

After sixty, the yellow earth will be up to your neck.

But the Wang Duoyu in front of me is no different from the one I first met nine years ago in the Peking University auditorium.

Time seems to have left no trace on Wang Duoyu's face, but he is already thirty-two years old this year, not twenty-two.

Why doesn't he get old?

"Oh, about the thesis? Come on, let's go inside and have some food. We can sit down and talk about it slowly."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu greeted him with a smile.

Seeing that there were guests, Liu Xiaoli and the others didn't say anything to Wang Duoyu. Meanwhile, Lu Yuening, Wang Junan, Wang Junkang, and the other little kids were already chattering around Liu Xiaoli and the adults, reporting on the big fish.

Wang Junhong, who was in school and didn't participate in this, was now filled with envy.

He had just seen that big fish too; it was indeed extremely large.

So, out of envy, Wang Junhong decided to go fishing in the Songhua River on the weekend, determined to catch a big fish.

Parents have the greatest influence on their children.

Wang Junhong can observe his parents' usual behavior; imitating parents is an innate ability of children.

His father was so accomplished that he had always been someone Wang Junhong admired and imitated.

Although he was still young, he learned from a young age to imitate his father, well, except for being a pilot.

After dinner, in the study of the villa, Wang Duoyu chatted with Qiu Chengtong and the others about the paper.

After they had talked for a while, Wang Duoyu suddenly suggested:
"How about we gather everyone together in a couple of days and have a detailed discussion about the paper on the Artin conjecture?"

There are a total of seven papers proving the functor conjecture, and it would be quite an achievement if all of them were published this year.

Each paper is quite difficult, just like this paper proving the Artin conjecture. More than half a month has passed, and they still haven't finished reviewing it.

This clearly demonstrates its difficulty.

The document is long and difficult to submit, so the review process naturally takes longer.

Therefore, if Wang Duoyu could personally explain it to everyone during the review stage, the difficulty level would undoubtedly be reduced considerably.

"no problem."

Qiu Chengtong and his group naturally wouldn't have any problems, but Wang Duoyu continued:

"On another front, I plan to set up a mathematics website where relevant papers can be published in advance, and everyone can log in to the website to download the papers at any time."

"That way, it won't be so troublesome."

"If that's the case, will it affect the journal publication?"

Upon hearing Jean-Baptiste's words, Wang Duoyu immediately chuckled:
"How could that be? This website mainly features Harbin Institute of Technology's mathematics journals, or the journal's website is located on Harbin Institute of Technology's official website. If you want to view it, you can log in to your account at any time."

"Those who should pay, should pay."

The first five pages of the paper are free anyway; if you want to read the rest, you can just pay to become a member of the website.

We'll just charge according to Azure's annual fee structure; it's the same thing anyway.

Nothing wrong with it.

Hearing Wang Duoyu say this, Burgain had no more questions.

As long as it doesn't affect the operation of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal, there's no problem.

After all, for journals, making a profit is not the goal; maintaining normal operations and preserving their status as top journals is the most important thing.

Since the establishment of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal in October 1980, it has published over a hundred papers in the past eight years.

Among them, the most cited papers are undoubtedly those published by Wang Duoyu, which have the widest applications.

The more times a journal is cited, the higher its impact factor will be, and the more prestigious the journal will be.

Therefore, even though the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal has only been established for eight years, it is indeed far behind those top journals in the United States.

However, this journal is currently the world's top journal, bar none.

This is because Wang Duoyu alone has published dozens of highly influential papers, and he is a top mathematician with high output and high quality.

Last year was the year Wang Duoyu produced the fewest top-tier papers, but there were still a handful.

There may not be many this year, but this paper on the Artin conjecture has already been groundbreaking.

After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, John Milnor and the others nodded in agreement.

This is a good thing, but people still prefer to view papers in paper form rather than on a computer.

After all, habits are hard to change.

By the time Qiu Chengtong and his group left, it was already 9:55 p.m., and the night was deep.

But Liu Xiaoli and the others were still awake. When Wang Duoyu pushed the door open and came in, Wang Junhong immediately stood up.

"Dad, Dad, I want to go fishing too. Can you take me fishing this weekend?"

"Uncle, I want to go too!"

Lu Yuening, Li Rongrong, and Wang Jun'an also ran up, chattering excitedly that they wanted to go fishing too.

With such small arms and legs, can he even lift a fishing rod?

Especially little Wang Junkang, who won't be two years old until the 26th of this month. He's not even very steady on his feet yet, and he already wants to go fishing?
"Okay, okay, as long as you like it!"

Wang Duoyu said with a smile, "Anyway, it's the same whether you take care of one child or two."

They're not little babies like Wang Yifei, still in swaddling clothes, so taking a few kids fishing isn't a big problem.

yeah!
Upon hearing this, the kids cheered, "We're going to catch a big fish!" (End of Chapter)
